COUNTY GOVERNMENT BASICS
Supervisors are elected by district to four-year terms. Supervisors’ terms are staggered – two Supervisors are elected in one general election, and three Supervisors in the next. The Board of Supervisors meet the first and third Tuesday of every month. The first Tuesday meeting is held in the Board Chambers, Courthouse, Downieville, CA. The third Tuesday meeting is held at the Loyalton Social Hall, Loyalton, CA. The Board will occasionally schedule meetings at night or in another location, depending on County business and public needs. All decisions must be made in sessions open to the public except for decisions regarding confidential personnel, labor and legal issues. On closed session matters, official actions must be reported. For specifics about Board meetings, call the Clerk of the Board at 530-289-3295.
The Board governs the county. This includes:
- Adopting the annual budget
- Making important land use decisions
- Confirming appointment of most non-elected officials
- Adopting county ordinances
- Setting most operations policies
Supervisors also assist citizens in solving problems and addressing local concerns.
Voters also elect other officials, including the Assessor, Auditor-Controller, County Clerk-Recorder, District Attorney, Sheriff-Coroner, Treasurer-Tax Collector, and Superintendent of Schools, each to four-year terms. The Board appoints the Director of Transportation and Planning, the Director of Health and Human Services and County Counsel.

- Attend any Board meeting to learn about and to speak on issues of concern. You may ask to speak on any agenda item as it is discussed. For items not on the agenda, you must address the Board during the Public Comment agenda item, which is usually listed early on the agenda for Board meetings. Because of state Brown Act restrictions, the Board is not permitted to take any action on items addressed under Public Comment. However, they may choose to add an item raised in Public Comment to the agenda for a later Board Meeting.
